Since what we're ultimately interested in is seeing this team take its rightful place in the championship circle, in this main area I might include the current league standings. I might talk about how the season is going and analyze how good (or bad!) I feel my team's chances are given the upcoming schedule.

I also might discuss other teams that I think my team needs to be worried about.
